Must be a gender issue
The only sculls/pelvii/ or other bones I've collected damaged my car, mind you they were still encased in flesh and blood and behaving eratically.

Are you serious????????????? Can you get some for me pretty, pretty, pretty please .... (Lots of grovelling!)

Regarding the cooling system, going to take off the skulls, see if that makes a difference. If not, will have to investigate the cooling system further. (Was really hoping that wouldn't be the case).

I have some good rams skulls and know here there are plenty more. I will pick a few up in August when I go there after Louth races.

Think my computer's finally starting to give up the ghost ... sorry couldn't get the picture to show.
Not really sure. It seems to have small horns so maybe a young bovine?? The face is broad enough.....

Yea, I thought it was probably a cow.. young bull, whatever (I know nothing about cattle, didn't realise both male & female goats had horns 'til I got Ziggy & Zelda).

Same ... but not family history. Least I know about my family, the better! Always loved cemeteries though ... spent a lot of my youth in cemeteries! As for old medical stuff, don't even want to know about the modern medical stuff! That falls in the category of my love (not) of snakes!

Don't knock it, I enjoy it too. Particularly at churches, they seem to be the oldest, you can almost touch the history. Some of the kids graves can bring a lump to the throat though.

MN, have you been to the hospital museum in Thargomindah? I think you would like it. It is in the original hospital building, and appears to be a complete late 1800s- early 1900s outback hospital. Some of the equiptment looks as if it has been stolen from the Nazis.

No I haven't Gan Gan.... I'll have to put it on the "to do" list

I went in the one at Birdsville last year....I was a tad disappointed with the gear on display

And...the Innamincka AIM Hospital I have seen both unrestored and restored.... nice job on the restoration there
